Listen
A call, a look at what you have now, and a clear picture of the job. If I am not the right person, I will say so.
Independent developer
Custom websites and
bespoke software.
I build sites and tools that fit the way your business actually works — not a theme’s idea of a business, and not a bloated platform you will only use 10% of.
What I do
Two kinds of work. Both made to measure.
Most clients come for one and stay for the other. The website is often the front door. The software is how the work gets done.
Selected work
The kind of projects I take on.
Representative engagements: a custom site, a client portal, and an internal operations app. The names stay with the clients. The problems will look familiar.
Custom website
A consultancy site with a point of view
A specialist consultancy needed more than a brochure. The site had to explain a dense offer, rank for the right searches, and send the right enquiries — not every enquiry.

A portal that replaced quote-chasing
A trade business was running quotes, job updates, and invoices across WhatsApp, email, and a shared inbox. Clients kept asking “where are we up to?” because nobody had a single answer.

An internal app for a spreadsheet-run company
A growing team was coordinating jobs, stock, and people in twelve spreadsheets. It worked until it didn’t: version conflicts, missed handovers, and a founder who was the only person who understood the system.
Read the project →How it works
A short process. No theatre.
Shape
Scope, structure, and a written plan before a line of production code. You will know what is in, what is out, and what it costs.
Build
Design and development together, with regular check-ins. You see the real thing taking shape — not a surprise at the end.
Launch
Go-live, training if you need it, and the unglamorous work: redirects, analytics, forms, backups, and the details that make it feel finished.
Direct working
You work with the person building it.
No account managers, no bait-and-switch junior team. One person, accountable for the work.
